and it pisses me off because it implies that my religion 'butchers' our young against their will.
Regardless of your opinions on whether circumcision is "butchering", it
is being done against the will of the children, and I think that's what's offending those who are against it.
It's really no different than banning porn or premarital sex or even unprotected sex.
Except it is! I don't even know how you could compare sex between two consenting adults to sawing away at the genitals of infants.
And keep in mind that all kinds of sex ARE, in fact, banned - for people who aren't old enough to consent to it.
EDIT: By the way, Adami, do understand that I'm not attacking you or your people. That is incredibly far from being my intention. I'm only here to discuss this matter, and I do have some relatively strong -- and, in my opinion, quite well-argued -- opinions about the subject.
